Update: The Tournament Mode DLC patch is already out for some PlayStation Network gamers, depending on their geographic location. It's a 12 megabyte download.

Super Street Fighter 4 will be patched tomorrow, June 15th, on Xbox Live.

Capcom will be fixing various issues and adding in a new Tournament Mode DLC update — for free. Just in case you missed things on the first go round, here's a run down of what to expect, hit the link below for the rest.

• Tournament Mode is a head-to-head in single-elimination tournament with brackets, which works with 4 or 8 players.

• You can watch other tournament matches in progress while you're waiting for your turn and voice chat. Players competing can hear you as well, but if it annoys you, there's a mute option.

• To help with lag, spectators will be a little bit behind the actual match that's being played.

• Tournament Mode works with SSFIV's recording feature.

• There are no battle points or rankings, but Tournament Mode will give players unique and special online titles, which can be won and lost from other players.

• Character selection is double-blind.

• Tournaments will continue on even if a participating player drops out.

• While the max amount of people a tournament can hold is 8 players, a 9th person can be there as the host. If the host drops, another will be found.

Wow...Whats the incentive for playing this mode other than for fun ???? All you get is a Trophy for winning the Tournament,thats it ???? No Grade Points,No Championship points,nothing to show for your achievments,just a Trophy.How about something rewarding for a change.

Anyway, the issue with Bison is that it was dealing LESS damage than non-counter, 25% less if I recall correctly (it's easy to test in training mode, just enable counter hit and attack data). It will probably do standard damage regardless of counter status, as none of the ultras I tested (in vanilla, several months ago) were affected by counter status.

I hope they patch up online play,this netcode still sucks just like SF4,If they messed up the first time with a bad netcode,why would they mess up again ????? Matchmaking is horrible....Again.Online play should be the focal point of this DLC,then Tournament mode.

Picking a popular or "high tier" characer won't improve your gameplay necessarily, finding a character that's suited to your style of playing the game is a much better strategy. After you make that decision, complete that character's trials as they serve as training for basic to bread and butter combos.

Dare to pick neglected and "low tier" characters, they're generally more fun to play if more challenging.

@21 hell yea! and if they do that, they should add an option to find certain-sized rooms... forget spectating for 20 minutes if you lose in a larger lobby. I miss vanilla.

Their net code is good, but their interface design and workflows are downright shameful... they could do a lot of small tweaks to make a really enjoyable experience...

- Add a rematch/character change interface in 2-player lobbies... you waste 90 seconds going back to the lobby only to select the same characters and same ultras over again.

- The team battle lobbies are a joke... if 2 guys are waiting in 1 lobby and 2 guys are waiting in another, they may never find a game, but are perfectly suited to be "matched" up.

- You can still do ranked matches with 1 round @ 30 seconds... why?

- You can't change lobby settings after the lobby has been created... you can't close slots or anything... if you find someone you want to have a bunch of matches with, you have to recreate the lobby or be forced to kick people who join.

- The replay management interface is just... sad. It's nice they have it, but it's clunky and feature-less.

- Whose idea was it to just shovel random crappy replays on people. They obviously have the data available, so why not let me find replays of top-ranked C. Viper.

They need to include an option to "PASS" if you're up next in Endless Battle and you want to let the next person in line play instead. Right now, you have to wait like a whole minute til your name blinks out.

Very frustrating that Capcom still does not fix the netcode in this game,this game needs a better netcode.Tired of dropped inputs,lag spikes, delay of game,and dropped connections.When wil they fix this game online ......when???

they need a search feature in the replay section to search up specific characters. like a filter on the battle logs so i can see only see chun li fights. i dont want to watch CHANNELS with some guy i dont know and discuss the match.***********

Can't join any friggin sessions for some reason. Even the few tournaments i've managed to get in have never finished because disconnections and crap. It's not worth it today at least. Maybe the connections will work better tomorrow. idk whats going on maybe its just me.

I have a ps3 and i'm on the east coast.. i download tournament mode about two 1/2 hrs ago. its pretty cool, for right now the only down side is when some when has a weak signal /connection there is a very bad lag durning the matches,viewing or playing.other then that. its cool. a new mode.i like that. did then do the patches on ibuki and the unblockables??????

It's new mode to keep the hype up.i like that.Where the patches on ibuki and the unblockables fixed as well??????

Unlike Ranked Mode, Championship Mode was a matchmaking system with a fixed set of rules, i.e. no 30 second rounds. Lack of point loss just meant that you weren't punished for using a low tier or secondary character. Boosting was impossible in Championship Mode as well because of the bracket system. It was the far superior matchmaking system.

There is another thing that they updated with the patch on PSN, IDK about Xbox Live though. U can see what mode ur friends r playing on ur list. After the title of the game, ull see the mode in parenthesis. Kinda like how MW2 was.

I agree with some people here.....Bring back Championship mode !!!!!!!!!!This mode seems pointless,its like endless battle,but hey if u win u get crappy trophy,instead of points.What goes on now ?????? Is Capcom getting lazy ????? Im not one to whine,but come on now.Id gladly pay for more stages,more costumes,more modes,more characters,but Capcom does not seem interested in these ideas !!!!

This is like watching people comment on the article that they are trying to log into Facebook.

Tournament mode was meant to emulate the experience of playing at the arcade. Instead of playing your matches simultaneously, you watch and chat about the current match. Instead of collecting points, you get the title of champion.

Pushing for the social aspect of arcades into the game is Capcom's way of attracting staunch arcade players in Japan. They relented with the arcade version eventually but development was already well on the way. Grinding championship points just didn't fit into the arcade concept.

I hope to see more support for more players, team tournaments in the future and even double eliminations.

Available in u.k psn.Netcode is pretty good in ssf4,if both players only using connection on their ps3 and nothing else.The funny thing is i hear scrub this scrub that,but when they finally get a player that is good,the only way they can beat them is by scrubbing the players connection so he has no block no combos and has to play 1 hits mostly hk and hp.

I'm really pleased they've done this but can't help think that an offline version would be more awesome, a la the mode in the old Super Street Fighter or even the one in Smash Bros. Melee ( I know, dirty words... ) which could handle huge numbers but you couldn't switch characters.

I hope, like some others have said, that this is the first step and they plan to expand on it in the future. It would be great online but I would really like to see something included for offline as well.

My opinion after playing 2 tourns.1)I don't know if it's just my connection or something. I can't seem to get in alot of to tourns, EVEn when I can clearly see that the room is half empty.2)20 to 30mins for 1 tourn with 8 players? why? because the tourn is not going on simultaneously. why?????

I personally think tourn DLC does not meet the hype. It does NOT add anything new to what there is no, just a more tedious team battle with a different look and ofcourse more frustration to sit and sit and wait and wait because it's not going on simultaneously. It should have been included with the disc.

I would prefer a 4 player ENdless battle anyday over this.

btw, have they patched the games yet? or the DLC from yesterday is just the Tourn Mode itself?

Even if the brackets were played simultaneously, I doubt anyone would actually enjoy tournament mode. What you really should be telling Capcom is that you don't want to socialize online and you only want to grind out points. You only need other players because you need them to lose to you.

omg.. am i the only one here who ENJOYS watching other people play? I mean come on.. if u want to fight all the time the Tournament Mode just isnt designed for u, just shut up and go play ranked or endless with a 2-3 men lobby..

but there are also friends who enjoy playing together and also like to play "competively" without using imagination in endless mode. Tournament Mode is just a little competition without the pressure of losing points or whatever

Bleh... Tournament mode sucks. it's just like endless battle for some reason. I played it once today and I find no incentive in playing the mode any longer. @ 100 JerseyFame has a nice idea going on. Capcom should give tournament winners special free downloadable contents like free costume packs instead of lousy trophies.

Yea yea I know it's a free DLC but c'mon, this better be just a small step towards something much better in the future. I agree with the others, Capcom should expand on the tournament mode and what not and offer some real incentives in the very near future. Otherwise, It's a close to useless addition in my opinion.
